Legislators waste too much time on unworkable bills

Once again, Tennessee Attorney General Bob Cooper has had to explain to state legislators that the bill they proposed is most likely unconstitutional.

How many times has this happened this year? I've lost count. How much taxpayer time and money has been wasted on bills that will not stand up to a court challenge - that will cost even more taxpayer time and money?

I am not impressed by their enthusiasm. Perhaps the attorney general should offer a brief seminar on what the state constitution allows at the beginning of each legislative session.
